Hi,
I had Windows 7 reinstalled.
When I try to install Acrobat 8.0 and load in the Product ID numbers it does not install.

Hi and thank you for writing.
The Adobe Acrobat 8 install cannot recognize the serial number on the CD jacket.
This may be because I have an upgrade CD and it wants the original serial number for the earlier version.
I see no way on the Adobe support pages to get help with older versions of Acrobat just Acrobat DC.
I cannot find a number to call Adobe to get the original serial number

Problem solved.
I had not registered the product at the Adobe site.
When I did that the install accepted the serial number.

You should know that Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Windows 7 (doesn't mean it won't work on it, just that it's not tested or supported, so all kinds of strange issues can happen).
